Bluestocking,

The yahoo group is new; the scavenger hunt is to get the word out to readers. However, Books We Love has been around for several years. It’s listed in my resources and I’ve posted about it a few times before, but it’s been awhile—maybe before you started reading my blog. There’s also a blog by BWL authors—it’s listed in my blogroll.

This seems like a nice thing for my mom to join. I’ll tell her about it. Her name is Angeli Perrow and she has 3 published children’s books with another one in the pipeline. Thanks for the information.

Gabriel,

Thanks for sharing this with your mom. I’m a great admirer of anyone who writes children’s books. That would be very difficult for me.

I know that she really enjoys it and it has become a big part of her identity. She also enjoys doing author visits to her local schools.

(Comments wont nest below this level)

That’s great, Gabriel. It’s so important for kids to have positive role models, and I’m sure she’s that on her school visits.

Helen,

It is a fun group,especially for readers who like to get to know authors.

Of course, it’s also great for authors who like to interact with readers. Not all members may be interested in my books, but all members are interested in books and some will be interested in mine.

The scavenger hunt will take time, but for many avid readers the time is well-spent if they’re learning about new books and authors and have a chance to win free books.

I don’t normally read books nowadays because of the excessive use of internet. Any way I will check this one

Shanavas,

I’m on the Internet all the time, too, but I still love to read books. I always try to read a few pages or a chapter when I eat a meal alone; my husband usually isn’t around for at least one meal of the day so I get some reading in every day.
